Today’s Agenda
● Challenges Faced by Vo-Techs
● Review Performance Contracting
● Value of Performance Contracting
● Advantages and Opportunities
● Your School
2
What unique challenges are you facing?
3
What is Performance Contracting?
●Performance Contracting
● Financial solution
● Help improve facilities
● Alternative to traditional construction
● Lighting, HVAC, controls, etc
● Focus on building life cycle (energy, maintenance, service, etc.)
● Proactive approach for Vo-Tech buildings
●Enabling legislation
● Up to 20 year payback (aligned with PlanCon)
● Since 2000
● Qualified ESCO list
4
Leveraging Funds
● Leverage dollars already in
current budget
● Reduce utility costs
● Energy efficiency gains
● Address critical facility needs
● Fund portion of project
● Partnership for performance
Savings

5
Types of Savings
● Energy
● Operational and Maintenance
6
Types of Savings
● Capital Avoidance Savings
● Energy savings discount costs
● Can be substantially more energy
savings

Value of Performance Contracting
● Some ESCOs Offer:
● Comprehensive solutions (beyond low-hanging fruit)
● Complete building life cycle focus
● Full in-house mechanical, electrical and energy engineering
● Single responsible party for your entire project (design to commissioning)
● Accountable to long-term project success
● True financial guarantee
8
Alternate for slide above
● How performance contracting is different:
● Focus on ensuring the best first and long-term solution
● Single responsible party for your entire project (design to commissioning)
● Accountable to long-term project success

When Does PC Make Sense?
● High utility costs or energy waste
● Antiquated equipment / technology
● Limited budget – leverage savings and capital
● Accountable to performance
10
Case Study – Venango Technology Center
● Concerns:
● Original equipment
● Antiquated technology
● End of its useful life
● Lack of control
● Maintenance drain
● Long-term solution
● Performance
● Maintenance
● Rising electric costs
● Limited budget for improvements
● Where would funds come from?
● Solution:
● Fuel conversion
●All-electric to natural gas
● 17 new rooftop units
●Heating & cooling source
● Comprehensive lighting retrofit
●T12 to T8 conversion
● Replacement of pneumatic controls
● Full DDC control system
● Energy Management System
11
Case Study – Venango Technology Center
●Result:
● Comprehensive upgrade of major operating systems
● ROI - $70,922 annual savings
● Worked within budget constraints
● Savings and performance guarantee
● Avoided rising electric utility concerns

● Comprehensive lighting upgrades
●Indoor lighting
●Outdoor lighting
● Result:
● Designed with life cycle focus
● Performance
● Maintenance
● Comfort issues addressed
● Uniform learning environments
● Future reliability ensured
● Savings to help pay for work
● $139,464 annually
● $32,417 energy / maint. savings
● Successful project within schedule

Summary of Advantages to PC
● Partnership
● Match school’s needs and goals
● Work with school to deliver right project
● Guaranteed savings
● Funding source out of current budget
● Performance based improvements
● Address facility needs
● One company accountability
● Responsible from design to commissioning and beyond
15
Your School
● Handout
● Think about your school
● Performance contracting may benefit district if:
● Answer “Yes” to one or more questions
● Have current or future utility concerns
● Have aged equipment or upcoming facility needs
● Desire help with a long-term facility plan
● Interested in investigating further?

A Partnership for Performance
Performance Contract
Design-Build Approach:
Bid-Spec Approach with
Traditional Construction:
●One company accountability
●Multiple source accountabililty
●Training is emphasized
Energy is commonly cut-out
●Training
Management
●Subcontractor management –
part of turn-key project
●Resources needed to effectively
manage many moving parts
18
Funding to Stretch Your Budget
Performance Contract
Design-Build Approach:
Bid-Spec Approach with
Traditional Construction:
●Guaranteed energy savings
●Savings not guaranteed
●Maximize rebates, incentives,
etc.
●Grants / rebates generally your
Energy
responsibility
Management
●Final fixed price contract
●Unknown final cost
●No change orders
(unless client requested)
●Change orders can increase
overall costs by 30%
19
Critical Building Updates
Performance Contract
Design-Build Approach:
Bid-Spec Approach with
Traditional Construction:
●You have control of equipment
and quality
●“Economic Value” drives types
of systems and quality
●Holistic design that capitalizes
on the interactions of the ECMs
●Focus on meeting specs, little
concern with system interaction
●Emphasis on long-term building
performance and cost factors
●Emphasis on completing
project and moving on
20
Utilize Energy Most Effectively
Performance Contract
Design-Build Approach:
Bid-Spec Approach with
Traditional Construction:
●Guarantee ensures a partner
●Desire to move on to next
project
●Vested interest in project
performance
●Accountable for results
Energy
●Projects may be “over
Management
designed”
●Not responsible for savings
being achieved or guaranteed
